The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 11 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game this season for Arizona.
He played his final game for the program on Thursday in the Sweet 16 matchup against Duke, in which he scored 6 points, along with 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
“Obviously, it wasn’t the best year for me, confidence-wise and shooting-wise, all the offensive stuff, but I feel like all my teammates believe in me still and I have no choice but to play my heart out and give my best effort,” Lewis said after the loss to Duke.
After two seasons at Arizona the incoming junior guard is sure to draw a lot of attention in the transfer portal.
